Not to sound rude -probley will any way


CD roms are not that quirkey...they work or they dont

If you put the DVD rom on the same channel and it works...the CD rom is BAD...no fixing it -other then reseating the cables and ensureing the jumper is set properly ...just the fact...these things happen...thats why techs have jobs...

If you put the working DVD drive on the same channel and it doesnt work...then swap the cabel...if it still doesnt work (worst cast senario) bad connector on the motherboard...then weight the value of cost of replacement to new system...

Now if your remove the DVD and the CD works...look at your power supply...not preforming...ALOT of system qurikyness can come form a bad or soon to be bad power supply
